The herbalists were overjoyed and crawled away.
Chen Dabing thought: Not all monsters are bloodthirsty. Perhaps it is because they have awakened their spiritual intelligence. Once they cultivate to the foundation-building stage, they can transform into human form, and then there is no difference between them and humans.
Suddenly, the big bear said in this direction, "Come out! Are you sneaking around in the bushes and trying to attack me?"
Having been discovered, Chen Dadan rushed out from the bushes and was cautious and wary of the big bear.
"It turned out to be a little fox." The big bear said, "Don't be afraid. I don't even eat those humans, let alone a little thing like you with so little flesh on your body."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak" Chen Dabing wanted to speak, but what came out was fox language. He didn't expect that Big Bear could understand it.
"What? You said you're not afraid of me. If I attack you, you'll be dead. Hahaha! You're so humorous."
Chen Dabing was surprised, but as they were from the same demonic beast clan, it was not surprising that they could understand each other's language. He became interested in this kind bear demon and said, "Since you don't eat humans, come and follow me!"
"Hahaha!" Big Bear laughed even more happily, but there was a fierce light in his eyes. He walked over step by step and said, "Do you think I won't eat you just because I have a good temper?"
Chen Dabing didn't want to fight him, so he took out a high-grade spirit stone from his pocket, threw it at his feet, and said, "I am the little princess of the Qingqiu tribe. It's not shameful for you to mess with me." (The bear monster has transformed into a human form, so you can call him that)
The big bear picked up the high-grade spirit stone, and withdrew his fierce look, he said, "It turned out to be the little princess. She must have gotten lost because she was too playful. Don't be afraid, let me escort you back to the Qingqiu tribe's territory!"
As expected, money makes the world go round. The identity of the little princess of the Qingqiu tribe also played a role. Chen Dabing just needed an errand boy. This bear demon could communicate normally and had a good nature. It would be much more convenient to take him along.
"My name is Daji. Do you have a name?"
"Dear Princess Daji, I once captured a human champion and forced him to name me. He came up with two very nice names, but I haven't decided which one to choose yet."
Chen Dabao said, "Which two names? Tell me."
Big Bear said, "One is called Xiong Zihan, and the other is called Xiong Xinyi. They both sound nice, right?"
Chen Dabing wiped his forehead and said, "They sound nice, but they don't suit you. From now on, you'll be called Xiong Er."
Big Bear's face darkened and he said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Even if you kill me, I won't be called Bear Two."
Chen Dabing took out another high-grade spirit stone and threw it to him. He immediately smiled and said, "Actually, the name Xiong Er is also very nice. Thank you, little princess, for the name. From now on, I will be called Xiong Er."
Chen Dabing was very satisfied. He thought that people like him were the best lackeys because they were smart and easy to deal with.
"You're already in the Foundation Establishment stage. Don't you usually have a few subordinates following you? If you do, call them over to follow me."
Xiong Er said, "I usually keep to myself, but I have a good brother who built a stronghold and has more than a dozen little demons under his command."
Chen Dadan said, "Take me with you. I want to recruit your brother."
Xiong Er was a little embarrassed and said, "It's not possible to get rid of my brother with just two high-grade spirit stones."
Chen Dabing reached into his pocket and felt around. There weren't many high-grade spirit stones left in his storage bag, but there were tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones. He thought it should be enough to recruit a dozen monsters. So he said, "Let's meet them first."
Xiong Er was a little curious and asked, "Little Princess, I, Xiong Er, am enough to escort you home. Why would you need to recruit a younger brother?"
Chen Dabao said, "Of course it's about doing something big. Don't ask so many questions first. Take me to your brother's stronghold."
At Langao Villa, a handsome man sat in the host seat, while Chen Dabing and Xiong Er sat in the guest seats. Just like the way guests are entertained in human society, a pot of tea was also brewed.
"It is a great honor for me to have two distinguished guests visit my humble home. I, Jade Face Lang, am honored to have you here. Please have some tea."
Yumianlang is Xiong Er’s brother, a wolf demon who transformed into a human form. There is not a single trace of a demon beast on his body. Instead, he is much more handsome than an average human being. He truly deserves the name Yumianlang.
"Pah!" Xiong Er took a sip of tea and immediately spat it out, saying, "What kind of tea is so unpalatable? It smells so sour."
Chen Dabing took a sip and said, "This is top-quality Pu'er tea. Even humans find it difficult to drink it."
The little fox couldn't speak human language yet, but the language of the demon tribe was mutually intelligible, so there was surprisingly no obstacle in communicating with them.
Jade-faced Man looked at him with a strange expression and said, "Little Princess Daji is indeed a noble. She is indeed well-informed."
Xiong Er said proudly, "Of course. Brother Wolf, the little princess is rich and powerful. Why don't you follow her like me? It's better than being a small village chief."
Jade-faced Man said, "As long as Princess Daji can afford the price, I and more than a dozen of my men will all work for you."
Chen Dabing threw him a storage bag and said, "Here are 10,000 spirit stones, which is considered a salary. As long as you follow me, you can get 10,000 spirit stones every month."
Ten thousand spirit stones was a huge sum of money for a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast. Jade-faced Man took the storage bag, glanced at it, and said, "The little princess is indeed generous. I... I'm curious, what do you want us to do? If it's a life-threatening task, I probably can't do it."
Chen Dabao said, "It's not a life-threatening job. Just search for medicinal herbs in the Abyssal Forest, like Blood Spirit Ginseng, Jade Ganoderma, etc. If you can find precious herbs like Black Mystic Ganoderma for me, there will be a reward."
Jade-faced Lang asked curiously, "What does the little princess need these herbs for? We demons don't make pills."
Xiong Er said, "Don't ask so many questions. We should just do whatever the little princess tells us to do. If we do it well, there will be rewards. The little princess has a lot of spirit stones."
Jade-faced Man said, "Since you have so many spirit stones, I'd like to ask if you could keep them all with me."
Xiong Er's expression changed, and he said, "Jade-faced man, what do you mean by this?"
Jade-faced Man laughed and said, "Literally, the meaning is, although the little princess of the Qingqiu clan is of noble status, the fox clan has fallen on hard times. She thinks she can bribe me and become my master with a few spirit stones? Old Bear, how about you and I team up to kill her and take the spirit stones, each taking half?"
Xiong Er's eyes widened in anger as he said, "You're delusional! I brought the little princess here. If you don't want to be inferior to others, then return the spirit stone and I'll take the little princess away."
"Hahaha!" Jade-faced Man laughed loudly, looking up to the sky. "Now that you're here, it won't be so easy to leave, Old Bear. I'm only letting you go because of our long-standing friendship. Since you don't know what's best for you, let's die together!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and more than a dozen little demons rushed in from outside the door. No, among them was a big demon who also turned into a human form. It was a female with a graceful and charming figure and a face as beautiful as a flower.
Xiong Er's expression changed, and he said, "I was wondering why you were so bold. It turns out your Taoist partner has also successfully established his foundation."
Jade-faced Man waved his hand and said, "Come, Xiaoqian, meet your second brother Xiong."
